IDs from webhooks are strings and not numbers. #4

Closed 1lann closed 8 years ago

1lann commented 8 years ago

I don't know if they were numbers before, but at least now, user IDs from webhooks are numbers in strings. i.e. the json would be like:

{"sender":{"id":"1259905410705036"},"recipient":{"id":"1175644529126109"}, "..." }

This can be fixed by changing the structs to use strings instead of int64, or use something during decoding to convert it to an int64.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention @1lann! Turns out Facebook recently changed their API. In order to keep backwards compatibility, I have left the value as an int64 but told json/encoding to look for a string.
